What is the default mode when 1st powered up? Timer? Dispense?

Andy, I do not remember the default feeding setting as my feeder fell in the pond and stopped working a year ago and haven't used it since. But here is the manual and step #5 is the feeding info. Here is the manual - http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Media/PDF/74697-P7000FeederInstructions.pdf. I would suggest putting a waterproof bag around the feeder and securing with tie wire etc just to prevent water getting into the electronics.

It is not that simple. First you need to set the time, then program the meal size, then the meal times. The instructions are clear, but it all needs to be done before any feeding occurs. The great flexibility in settings is great for one feeder to cover a wide range of environments. But it takes some work to get it to work right.

When first powered the unit is not on a default setting. It requires being set up the timer before dispensing.

I believe there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..

there's a reset 'button' on the rear near the unit's on/off switch....use a straightened out paperclip or something similar.....

You CAN switch the unit to untimed mode. Instructions for setting this can be found in the product user guide here: www.learningresources.com/text/pdf/6965_webguide.pdf

Where is it, on the machine? When I turn mine on, it just goes to the timer times. How do I set it to be continueous?

Yes, I'm having a problem as well. I think it goes to the default setting when I turn it off? Works good otherwise.

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

Hold the reset button for 30 seconds. That should factory default it. Default user and pass is "admin".

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.

There isn't. Every time I unplug it I have to reset which is difficult and a bit fiddly.

Try to do a manual reset and see if that works first. When you do a manual reset ( see instructions) you can then start over again. This timer/switch isn't at all hard to set. I set mine when I first got it and plugged it in and its been running almost a month now without fail. Hope this helps out.

That is a normal function when powered up . Mine does the same when powered up.

Mine re-starts with the same adjusted shut-down settings. If I tweaked a setting while in a earlier saved program, the tweak also returns after power-cycling. There's a clear to "pre-set's" function that returns mine to the earlier saved fixed program settings. I went with another unit and can't recall the menu/page. Their customer service was helpful.

First of all, I have to say that it looks like this is an updated model from the one I have, which might explain why I've never heard of "vacation mode". Mine has something I think is called "Security Mode". When I engage it, the letters SEC appear in the display to the right of the time, and the unit does that bracketing thing you describe: only within my ON/OFF times, it appears to operate my lamp randomly. I really like it. I would imagine that this updated version carries on with the same behavior, but I don't know for sure. You know you have one like mine if your six buttons read (L to R): (1st row): WEEK, HOUR, MIN and (2nd row): TIME, ON/OFF AUTO, PROG, and if you have a RESET button under all six recessed in a hole made for a pen or something like a paperclip.

Not automatically. Once you have stopped the timer, push 'clear' and the button for the timer you are using and it will reset to the original timing you entered. I imagine it would take a much more expensive unit to do as you describe.

This happened to me also. Just press the timer/clock button on the lower left and it should reset properly.

Yes to both. The last shown is only a momentary display right after start-up and the it goes to real time.
